Dataset of shallow sub-surface soil moisture and soil temperature at various distances from downed trees and logs in a Pinus nigra forest after wildfire in Central Italy

In a conifer forest in Central Italy burnt by wildfire in 2017, shallow sub-surface (topmost 5 cm) soil temperature and soil moisture (% volumetric water content) were measured during summer 2022. Various distances from downed trees (natural barriers) and log erosion barriers (artificial barriers) were sampled. Additional data on the hour of sampling, barriers characteristics, and barriers location were collected.
